DB2 Restore Command

I am working on database restore, I need to know whether there are any ways to find the logs needed to recover/roll forward the database without actually doing restore. So that I can validate the backup image and send out the details in email.

Assuming - it is a db you can look at - look at the database history.
Will say when the backup started and what the logfiles are (at the point in time).
And you can determine the archiving of log files - from the db2diag.log - and other places too.
Not sure if this helps?

You can also restore the db hist file - and that should then give you the possibility of looking at db2 list history ?

If using tsm - you can db2adutl query the backup - and then compare the with the logfiles (using db2adutl as well).
